Thx for posting that visual, Marq...I remember seeing it before, but I forgot. I guess trying to catch up from Post #1 is a little overwhelming, but it is worth it!

My car actually had good paint on it less some dings and some minor clear coat chips. I've roughed it up with 220, I'll get 400 next. I'll probably paint after 400...seems to me like it would be smooth enough and provide a good amount for the new paint to bite into.

My Top secret TS-100 (white) and TS-101 thinner arrived today. I plan on having at least 2 coats on my car by sunday. I'll post progress pics afterward!

ALSO, I have been wetsanding with a nice foam pad that is made specifically for wetsanding. After getting halfway done sanding with 220, I noticed something ironic...This particular pad is called "Roller Block"! and the slogan "wrap it and roll".

I thought that was hilarious. For anyone interested, it is made by Motor Gaurd corporation. It works really well.
